I've met people like them in the office. My first job, people were deadnaming Chelsea Manning in the internal chat. One time I got stuck in a lift with two other people and they assumed I was a guy, and started talking about which of the HR reps they wanted to fuck. It was tedious and stressful, and the company did have an anonymous reporting system, sure; but fuck, there were only three people in the lift, anonymity goes to shit when there's only three total people present and two of them are in on it.
My work quality tanked shortly after because, a) I have ADHD so I was putting 200% into my job to tread water, b) the rampant misogyny and transphobia within the workplace was just suffocating, and c) I dared to use the anonymous reporting system to report people for being shitheads, and I stupidly admitted that to HR. I am 70% sure it was the last point there that got me fired lmao
This kind of shit is why I am no longer aiming to work in tech.
